It was such a drag in the 1960's having to save every penny you could working minimum wage, and it still took a year or two before you could afford to pay cash for a new Ford Mustang or F-150. By the 70's gasoline had skyrocketed to 50c per gallon too, so then you could only afford to drive across the country once or twice a year. Motel 6's had already gone up to $8, that's just how bleak it was. While those with trust funds never had to worry about these types of limitations.
